I'm in for #HODL. Funny how a typo on a cryptocurrency forum caught on and trended. Gotta love it... In reality, though, I wish it meant something cooler like what user XIntel posted: HOLD ON for DEAR LIFE! LOL!

HODL is the best slang related to the bitcoin as I am currently holding on my position until the end of 2018 as I have a strong belief in the positive outcomes related to the price of bitcoin.What are your stories cryptoers?

Bitcoin slangs are quite popular now a days. There are many slangs used currently in the discussions of the cryptocurrences. FOMO "Fear of being missing out" is a good one for me as it suggests the situation when you have the opportunity in front of you but you can not grab it.

I did not know that bitcoin slang is a thing. Are there any other slang words than the ones above? Is it imortant to be familiar with the slang in order to do well and if so, coud anyone give me a tip on where I can catch up? I am still learning the basics, so I would be thankful for the help:)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder makes HODL seem a little uncomfortable to me, so Lambo(I kind of like Lamborghini) by the way, I work for FMZ Quant-www.fmz.com, a quantitative platform in China, I just started crypto trading and I'd like to make some friends here to discuss trading strategy.

For me, there is one new slang that is not seen in the above answers and that is OCD (Obsessive Cryptocurrency Disorder). OCD is a condition developed over time by those who own any amount of bitcoin. They become obsessive about watching bitcoin prices rise and fall, all day and night.

whales can still affect the market due to bitcoin’s relatively small market capitalization where multi-million dollar orders can still shake things up. As bitcoin markets become stronger and gain more liquidity, speculators believe it now takes bigger bitcoin whales to shift the trading waters.

It has been postulated that a Bitcoin talk forum user misspelled ‘HOLD’ in 2013 while drunk, giddy, or just deficient in the spelling department. Nowadays it is generally considered to mean “Hold On for Dear Life’ and represents the ultimate goal of any NEWB crypto trader – to keep a given token for more than eight minutes in the face of more pressing and urgent opportunities they just heard about in a bar in Singapore.
